NETBible

Then he moved away from there and dug another well. They did not quarrel over it, so Isaac¹ named it² Rehoboth,³ saying, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land.”

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tn Heb “and he called its name.”

³sn The name Rehoboth (רְהֹבוֹת, rehovot) is derived from a verbal root meaning “to make room.” The name was a reminder that God had made room for them. The story shows Isaac’s patience with the opposition; it also shows how God’s blessing outdistanced the men of Gerar. They could not stop it or seize it any longer.
